Impressive 17th C. Turkish Jar, 5' Tall | Item# 1709

38"width 38"depth 59.5"height

This large-sized Turkish olive jar dates back to at least the 17th century, though it is quite likely older. This antique Turkish terracotta vessel, once used to hold olives, features a rounded lip at its top, with a bulbous center which tapers to the bottom. The jar is nicely decorated with ribbed trim details, encircling the body. There is a wonderful old patina and paint remnants throughout this piece, showcasing its rich history. This impressive piece stands at 5 feet tall and over 3 feet in diameter. Though the jar can stand on its own, it is not very stable. Therefore, we recommend its use to be supported in some fashion, whether standing straight or laying on its side. This 17th century Turkish olive jar will make an awe-inspiring, decorative statement piece.

Price: $9,000.
